Would absolutely love the Golf. My first car was a MK4 GT TDI 15 years ago (with an R32 bodykit on it)! Mapped and modded to the hilts and even took my driving test in it! 2 minors! :) Just blew the engine on my weekend fun car (Rx8) so I'd worship the GTI! P.S. I'm a dreamcatcher!!! :)

Calv, black/dark wheels are now really played out an overdone. Silver is now the new black and I think they look bang on 👍

It should be the clutch that’s pushed in to start. The switch under clutch pedal is faulty so Renault used a back up brake pedal switch so the car will start and not leave you stranded. Only a cheap £10 part . Go grey for wheels btw 👍

When the cars are this similar on paper, the difference between the drivers is all it can take. 🤔🤔 I have yet to race an ep3 so can't comment from my experience tbh. I can believe the ep3 might be a bit faster in a straight line, but as soon as it gets to the twisties the Renault is top of class.
